Eddie Kendricks
Feel Like Givin’ Up
[Verse 1]
Mmm, oh yeah
When I'm all alone baby
And you're out having a good time
Neglecting this heart of mine
And you wonder why, why I'm crying
Mmhmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Woah!
I feel like givin' up
It's heavy on my mind girl
Ohhhh!
I feel like givin' up
And I said, I said

[Chorus]
If only you didn't have a hold on me
If only you didn't, no no, control me
If only I wasn't such a fool
I'd leave, oh I'd leave you, leave you right now, right now

[Verse 2]
And when I give you loving baby
You don't return it, no no
You just talk it up, as another conquest
(You couldn't care less) You couldn't care less
Why I'm crying, mmmhmm
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah!
Feel like givin' up
I'm tired of crying in my sleep, woman
Woahhh!
Ahhh!
Listen to me while I tell ya

[Chorus]
If only I didn't love you so much
If only I didn't need your loving touch
If only I wasn't such a fool
I'd leave, oh I'd leave you, leave you right now, right now, right now

I'm tired of crying
Ooh

[Outro]
I feel, I feel like giving up! It's weighing heavy on my mind, girl
I feel, I feel like giving up! Giving up!
Oh oh oh
I feel, I feel like giving up! I'm tired of crying in my sleep, woman
I feel, I feel like giving up! Giving up!
Oh oh oh
I feel, I feel like giving up! I'm sick and tired of this misery
I feel, feel like giving up
